Here is my work so far on improving the minifig arm. It is provided as an MPD
file of a torso and arms at two different angles; right - upper arm vertical;
left - forearm horizontal.

There is still much to do on the inner arm and not all the necessary type 5
lines are done. The new arm part still contains a lot of working comments.

But hopefully it shows the direction I am going - all comments welcome.

Repost to fix line-wrapping mess.

More progress, at last. I think this now just needs a little work on type 5
lines at the elbow bend. I believe I have done as much as I can to use the
cyli, cyls and cyls2 primitives, which should improve the appearance by
renderers which do primitive substitution.

Thanks for all the comments so far - more welcome.

Chris
